Enjoy High-End Champagne on These Airlines and in Airport Lounges

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a glass of high-end Champagne, perfectly chilled and filled with bubbles. And what could make the experience even more pleasurable and satisfying? Enjoying it on a plane or in an airport lounge before you depart on your trip. Many airlines around the world offer some of the finest and most collectible champagnes, including rare vintages, in their first and business class cabins, as well as in their lounges.

Singapore Airlines: Serving Up Rare Treats

One of the most sought-after champagnes in the world, Louis Roederer’s Cristal, can be found on a rotating basis onboard Singapore Airlines. This prestigious airline proudly serves Cristal, making it the first and only airline in the world to do so. The latest vintage, from 2016, is a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay grapes, offering a deep and intense taste with notes of citrus and ripe peaches. The finish is both silky and crisp, making it a truly luxurious experience for passengers.

Another top-notch champagne served on Singapore Airlines’ First Class cabins is Krug Grand Cuvée. This non-vintage champagne boasts a complex array of flavors, including almonds and toasted brioche. After a brief hiatus, the airline reintroduced this exceptional champagne to their premium cabins in January 2024, and it has been a favorite among passengers ever since.
